Men Upset IU East While Lady Eagles Extend Winning Streak
by Anthony Sizemore, Student Sportswriter
Alice Lloyd celebrated its annual Senior Day festivities on Saturday, February 16th, at the College's Grady Nutt Athletic Center. Prior to the big games, ALC's senior student-athletes were honored in front of the home crowd. For men's basketball, the Eagles showed their appreciation to Bill Deaton and burly, all-important center Terry Muse. Brittney Briggs and Rachael Lindon, co-captains of the ALC Cheerleading squad, were also recognized, along with Dance Team member Chelsea Bush. Afterwards, it was time for some basketball action in what would be the final regular season games for both ball clubs.
The Alice Lloyd Eagles welcomed the KIAC's second ranked team, the Indiana University East Red Wolves. The hosts came out of the gates ready to play and would win a huge, nail-biting contest, 71-68.
The game was very tight in the opening stanza as the biggest lead was only 5 points. Alice Lloyd led for most of the first half until IU East captured the lead with five and a half minutes to go, 26-25. ALC stayed right with the Wolves, though, as they only trailed by 2 at intermission, 34-32.
The home team would make a huge run to open the second half. The Eagles took the lead with sixteen minutes to go in the game as they went on a 25-9 run to make it 54-43 with ten minutes to play. IU East engineered a comeback to take a 1-point lead, 63-62, with just over two minutes remaining. ALC scored on the ensuing possession with a three-pointer by Justin Hobbs that would give them the lead the rest of the way. IU East had one last chance to tie the game, but Marcus Isaac could not get the trifecta to go.
For the victors, (11-18, 4-12 KIAC), Tyler Rogers played in beast mode. He scored 24 points, hauled down18 rebounds, and added 5 blocks. Stuart Stamper had 14 points, and Muse put in a respectable performance in his last home game with 11 points and 8 rebounds.
Huston Clark led IU East (19-10, 9-5 KIAC) with 25 points.
The Alice Lloyd Eagles will be the eighth seed going into the KIAC tournament that commences next week. They will travel to top-ranked Indiana University Southeast for a showdown on Saturday, February 23rd.
Following the men's game, the Alice Lloyd Lady Eagles squared off against conference foe Midway College. The women won their regular season finale at home, 88-75.
The home team came into this one looking to make it four wins in a row. In the first half, ALC would score the first basket and raced out to an early lead. However, Midway tied it at 16 with nine and a half minutes to play. The Lady Eagles (17-10, 10-5 KIAC) regained the lead and would extend their advantage to 11, 30-19, with five minutes to go. MC would again make a run to keep things close as the home team only led by 2 at the break, 37-35.
In the second half, Midway (8-19, 5-9 KIAC) would take over the lead for a brief period. Alice Lloyd trailed by 6 with just under fifteen minutes to play. After that, the home team went on a 19-4 run that would give them the lead for good at 60-51 with eleven minutes left in the contest. From there, ALC would maintain the gap over the visitors and extend it to double figures late.
Ariel Nickell played at a top-notch level once again, furthering her cause for Player of the Year. The junior forward scored 31 points and corralled 14 rebounds. Carla Booth played a terrific game as well, with 31 points, 3 assists, and 3 steals.
Shantel Cherry was Midway's leading scorer with 13 points.
The victory cements the Alice Lloyd Lady Eagles' status as the second seed behind Point Park going into next week's KIAC Tournament. ALC will host Midway once again in quarterfinal action on Saturday, February 23rd. Tipoff is set for 2 PM. Tickets will be available at the door ($5 adults; $2 students; with student ID, ALC and JBS students may attend the game for $1).

Shadows are fallin' and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep and time is runnin' away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.
Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writin' what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.
Well, I've been to London and I been to gay Paris
I've followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom of the world full of lies
I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.
I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.

"Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar" Review
By John Hanlon
After nearly a year of coronavirus restrictions that have kept many of us at home, Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar feels like the perfect film for viewers to live vicariously through. The feature focuses on two fast-talking Midwestern women, who decide to go on vacation together in Vista Del Mar, a beach community in Florida.
It's a worthwhile trip for them and for viewers, who will likely find much to love about this splashy and colorful film.
Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo costar as Star and Barb, the two title characters. The two single women work at a furniture store and love gabbing with each other: at work, during their regular meetings with other ladies in town and in between everything else. There's a fluidity to their conversations — one chat seamlessly leads into another — and their lifelong friendship shows. When their store closes, they decide to go on an adventure together.
Wiig and Mumolo, who previously earned Oscar nominations for writing Bridesmaids, also helmed this screenplay and it's easy to see how their friendship offscreen helped build the connection onscreen. There's a silliness to their banter and the two play off easily with one another, creating a formidable friendship that's both hilarious and heartfelt.
When the two characters travel to Vista Del Mar, they befriend Edgar Paget (Jamie Dornan). Unbeknownst to the two ladies who are just looking for a fun time, Edgar is part of an elaborate scheme orchestrated by Sharon Gordon Fisherman, an emotionless super-villain also played by Wiig.
While Star and Barb's friendship is grounded and relatable, the feature surrounds them with absurdist elements and silly comedy. From the James Bond-like villain to the musical numbers that pop up a couple of times, the world of Vista Del Mar is a unique and colorful one. However, the screenplay never dwells on the craziest moments of their trip. Instead, it always brings viewers back to the characters here and although they experience some whacky things, it's the characters and their journeys that drive the story.
Jamie Dornan, known for his work in the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy, stands out as one of the comedy's standouts here. The actor shows his depth by playing comfortably in a film that mixes different genres. Edgar is a key player in the villain's master plan as well as a friend to the two leading ladies and a lovelorn man, who longs for a woman who doesn't love him back. Dornan has to balance a lot of personality traits and he does it admirably here, showing off a side of his charm that hasn't been seen much before.
With a quirky screenplay that delights in the interplay between the two leads, director Josh Greenbaum has crafted something truly unique here. Because the characters are grounded, Greenbaum has the ability to build a wonderfully strange world around them and he does, filling the vacation spot with unique characters and vibrant colors.
The surprises aren't in the plot developments here but in the way that the film seamlessly melds different genres (musical, comedy, action) into something truly hilarious and undeniably memorable.

SACRAMENTO --- Law enforcement leaders from across the state of California today criticized the deep cuts to the Department of Justice's law enforcement budget that specifically targeted anti-gang and anti-drug programs.
The general fund reduction proposals would reduce by $71 million the budget of the Division of Law Enforcement. This could lead to the loss of several hundred special agents and other personnel, the dissolution of 55 statewide task forces – many of which coordinate responses to transnational gang and drug crime – and the loss of investigators on the state's new Mortgage Fraud Strike Force. As a result, two entire law enforcement bureaus could be shut down, the Bureau of Investigations and Intelligence (BII) and the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement (BNE).
California Narcotic Officers' Association President James C. Hodges:
"Yesterday's budget agreement contained a bad surprise – the budget decimated the General Fund resources available to Attorney General Kamala Harris' office for law enforcement purposes. The impact of these cuts will be the shutting down of all BNE task forces, as well as their offices. Each of you may recall that these same cuts were proposed in 2009 during the Schwarzenegger administration. Fortunately, the Legislature wisely rejected those proposed cuts. The reasons for rejecting those cuts in 2009 are as valid today as they were in 2009. In fact, they have become accentuated over the past two years. It is fact that the Mexican drug cartels have dramatically increased their profile in California. Additionally, the significant challenges local law enforcement will face in 2011 with public safety realignment is further reason to restore the BNE task forces. The fact is that the loss of BNE task forces will force local law enforcement – who will tell you frankly that they lack the expertise to deal with these sophisticated, multi-national criminal enterprises – to put scarce resources to fill the void left by the loss of BNE task forces. This is a diversion of local law enforcement resources that will unacceptably undermine their efforts to make public safety realignment work."
Irvine Police Chief and California Police Chiefs Association President Dave Maggard:
"There were strong imperatives that existed in 2009 and still exist today for the restoration of the BNE (Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement) and still exist today for restoration of the BNE task forces: the Mexican drug cartels are steadily moving their operations into the California; drug cartel violence is already spilling over into the United States; the Sinaloa Cartel is becoming firmly entrenched in California; FBI sources with whom we have spoken believe that a majority of the 200 reported abductions in California are attributable to Mexican drug cartels enforcing their business arrangements; and prosecutors are noting a disturbing diversification of the cartels where they are also engaged in human sex trafficking, as well as their more "traditional" methamphetamine trafficking.Local law enforcement relies on the ability of the BNE task force to combat the increasingly sophisticated crime families involved in drug trafficking and in human trafficking."
California District Attorneys Association President Gregory D. Totten:
"If this cut is allowed to stand, numerous entities within DOJ will be devastated. Though funded by the Restitution Fund, the Witness Relocation and Protection Program is staffed by DOJ personnel. A reduction in services within this program jeopardizes the ability of law enforcement to protect and relocate vital witnesses. Of additional concern is the potential negative impact on forensic services provided by DOJ. State forensic labs assist counties across the state with blood-alcohol and drug testing that is crucial to all types of prosecutions. This cut portends access to justice issues inasmuch as the availability of these services will become less uniform, specifically in counties that do not have local labs."
Imperial County District Attorney Gilbert G. Otero:
"As a district attorney in a county bordering Mexico, I would like to take this opportunity to urge you to oppose the Governor's proposal to cut $71 million from the Department of Justice, Division of Law Enforcement's budget. Such a move would have a major negative impact on public safety in my county, in the state and across the entire nation."
San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis:
"The purpose of this letter is to share my concern with the proposed cuts to the California Department of Justice, Division of Law Enforcement (DLE). As the elected District Attorney of San Diego County, my office investigates and prosecutes crime along California's border on a daily basis. It is through collaboration with the Division of Law Enforcement that we are able to see results from our efforts to stem the tide of violent crime crossing into California.The work of the Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement and the Bureau of Intelligence and Investigations is a key piece to a statewide strategy to prevent gang crime.I understand the challenges in balancing the state's budget, but urge you to keep in mind that most local law enforcement agencies are taking severe staffing reductions, especially the smaller agencies, and we will need the assistance of DLE more than ever."
East Palo Alto Police Chief Ronald L. Davis:
"The purpose of this letter is to share my concern with the proposed cuts to the California Department of Justice, Division of Law Enforcement (DLE). On June 5, 2011, two young men fired over a dozen bullets into a vehicle containing an innocent family of four leaving a baby shower in East Palo Alto. The heinous nature of this shooting shocked the entire Bay Area and underscores the real and serious danger gangs pose to our communities. Our response to this tragedy must extend beyond the arrest of the two killers: it must include holding the Nortenos and Surenos accountable as well. In order to do this, I need the assistance of DLE; otherwise, we are battling these gangs with 39 officers."
In a statement released last night, California Attorney General Kamala D. Harris said:
"The proposed $71 million cut will cripple California's statewide anti-gang and drug trafficking operations. Our Division of Law Enforcement leads 50 task forces across the state that target criminal gangs and drug trafficking organizations. Earlier this month, one of these task forces took down 101 leaders and members of two transnational gangs terrorizing California's Central Valley. Last month, we announced the seizure of over 100 lbs of methamphetamine and the arrests of more than 30 gang members in the Bay Area. These cuts will eliminate many, if not all, of these task forces and jeopardize many ongoing investigations."

Contact: Suzanne Stone, Senior Rockies and Plains Representative, Defenders of Wildlife (208) 861-4655 email@example.com
BOISE, Idaho – On Friday, February 28, Idaho Department of Fish and Game announced that, working together with Wildlife Services, they succeeded in gunning down 23 gray wolves from a helicopter in northern Idaho's Lolo elk zone near the Idaho/Montana border. The state agency said this killing was necessary to boost elk harvest levels in the area, despite independent scientific peer reviewers' observations that habitat loss, not predator influence, was the major factor in this localized elk herd decline.
Wildlife Services is currently the object of a formal review being conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Inspector General for effectiveness, justifiability and transparency, yet when asked by Defenders of Wildlife in emails on the subject prior to Idaho Fish and Game's announcement, neither agency revealed its aerial gunning mission that resulted in the deaths of 23 wolves in the state. Defenders is now requesting that a moratorium be placed upon Wildlife Services' killings of wolves and other top predators until the Inspector General has completed its audit of the agency's programs.
Suzanne Stone, Defenders of Wildlife Senior Rockies and Plains Representative, and Idaho resident, provided the following statement on the issue:
"This concealed aerial gunning program is just the latest in a series of egregious actions by the state of Idaho and Wildlife Services to irresponsibly drive down the wolf population in Idaho. For example, in January, Idaho Department of Fish and Game announced a new predation management plan, which would enable the agency to kill up to 60 percent of the wolves living in the Middle Fork Zone which includes the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area in order to inflate elk populations. The Frank Church Wilderness is the nation's largest forested wilderness area set aside by Congress as a sanctuary for wildlife to be "untrammeled by man." There is no livestock there and no excuses that can justify this persecution.
"These actions are a preview of the type of wolf killing that could occur on an even larger scale if Governor "Butch" Otter's proposed lethal wolf control board is approved by the legislature. If the proposed legislation is enacted establishing this board, Governor Otter will have a green light to wipe out most of the wolves in the state, using tools like Wildlife Service's aerial gunning program to accomplish it.
"These agencies are leading the charge against wolves in Idaho by using increasingly aggressive tactics to undermine the American people's restoration of this species in our national forests and wilderness areas. Idaho Department of Fish and Game and Wildlife Services are killing for killing's sake. There is no rational need for this eradication. USDA Wildlife Services, whose mission it is to help people and wildlife coexist, should not be killing wolves and other predators in a scientifically unsupported attempt to artificially boost game populations. The state of Idaho is proving beyond any doubt that Congress made a mistake when federal protections for wolves were removed in Idaho just three years ago."

(visited by Nageco Survey 201, Joe Spiteri, Muhammad Zubayr, Tariq Arabi, Fouzi Omran and Charlie Micallef)
07-Apr-2006 -- A survey team from Nageco Crew 201 made up of three nationals and two expatriates traveled over 250 kilometers from the crew's base-camp to establish a GPS control network in the vicinity of Sabah oil field due north of the confluence point.
The team stayed in Sabah station for two weeks and although knowing that there was a confluence point in the area, they could not pass the opportunity to make a visit.
On the last day of the field work, team members convened at confluence point 28N 18E. Joe Spiteri, who was a first time visitor to a confluence point, was in charge of locating the point with a hand-held Garmin GPS III Plus. The visit to this location took place on the afternoon of 7 April 2006.
The five members of the team traveled in three 4x4 Toyota Land Cruisers. Each vehicle was equipped with all the safety items necessary for a long journey in the desert.
As can be seen in the photos, the terrain surrounding the confluence point is a relatively flat area and access to it was rather easy. The point is located at the north edge of a very large basalt area. Photos showing the landscape around this area were taken at the four quadrants.

Comics Web site Comics Alliance to relaunch?
The massively popular comics Web site was seemingly shut down by AOL late last month, yet a new post on the site hints at a return.
Web site Comics Alliance, a three-time winner of the Eisner award -- went mysteriously silent toward the end of April, to the distress and consternation of comics fans.
No word -- official or otherwise -- was heard from either parent company AOL or any of the Comics Alliance staff members. However, the lack of updates on the site since April 29, where it usually updated several times a day, seemed to confirm that Comics Alliance was being shelved and archived. This apparent move was puzzling, as the site was not losing money; quite the contrary, in fact.
A new post on the Web site, however, seems to indicate that perhaps the whole thing was merely a hiatus. Titled ";)" (the wink emoticon), the post is a series of panels from Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" showing Superman hearing Batman's heartbeat after the latter has faked his own death.
Although we don't know why the Web site would fake us out, we bet its return is going to be something great -- even if it's just Comics Alliance back on our daily RSS feeds. Stay tuned.

While I'm waiting for my last stepper motor, I've been pondering my electric motorcycle build. While eyeballing batteries, I ran across a really impressive human/electric recumbent bike project. [Bob Dold] built this for his M.S.M.E. Thesis project. The frame was built from bonded aluminum. The flat parts were cut via waterjet service, and the rest were machined by the college's machine shop. The 1000w motor (and controller) came from a Schwinn X1000 electric scooter. Looks like a four link suspension (plus steering and shock linkages). Interestingly, he's using some USB data loggers for voltage and current(with a shunt) and combining it with GPS data to track real world performance.
9 thoughts on "Human Electric Trike Project"
With an average range of 20 miles it dosen't really seem worth it. I drive on an average of 30 miles to work so unless I found an outside outlet on the building I couldn't pull it off. But on the same note I would love to build one and use it around town.
I couldn't find out how much the trike weighs. Does anyone know? I noticed the use of aluminum, but were other weight saving methods sought or used? Great project!!!!!!!!!!
Some years (maybe 10 or so) ago I had the chance to ride a thing like this. It was made out of wheel chair parts, a gearbox from a motor cycle, truck batteries and as motor a starter from a diesel locomotive was used. It had very nice acceleration. I don't know the range it had, but I'm sure range was not the first thing the designer had in mind.
It is lacking any details so you can build your own.
so here everyone goes.
actual plans and instructions to build on (not electric, you can add that easily on your own) instead of only looking at pictures.if a "hack" does not have detailed plans and instructions, it's not a hack, but a simple "lookie what I did, give me some props!".
farthead, if you want easy to follow step-by-step instructions then go to http://www.instructables.com. it doesn't say anywhere that everything featured on hackaday has to involve instructions on how to build your own, and i'm guessing that someone with access to the design software, machine shop and mech. eng. expertise required to build one of these would probably rather take some inspiration from the design and design their own than follow a set of plans to the letter.
I love the design of this trike but it seems a little overengineered to reach mass market or amateur bike builders- apart from the thunderbolt linked above does anyone know of a simpler design that could be easily converted to electric/human power?
i think '
"proof of concept " works here.
In our cite i have see something like this "car". Boys from my garden construct car from whatever they could find. It use benzin to go.
New Motor Technology–Coreless Motor/ Ironless Motor For Trike
On a first glance, it is an interesting project. Impressive!

- CSV importing now autofills blank columns with field numbers such as Var018.
- More informative if locale issues.
- More informative if unable to connect to MySQL on Mac.
- Changed standard deviation in report tables from population sd to sample sd.
There is one important set of bug fixes which allows more sophisticated extraction of cell values from ODS spreadsheets. SOFA now copes with formatted content of cells and other complex cases by handling subelements in the XML.

It's a rite of passage - You and your spouse are expecting, and it's your responsibility to paint the baby's room.
But before you do so, make sure that you use only latex/low VOC paint, keep the room well-ventilated for at least a few days, and try to keep the pregnant mother away from the room while you're doing work.
Well, I did all of that. Unfortunately, my wife appears to be experiencing 'Sick Building Syndrome'.
My Question: How can I remedy this situation? Can I buy an appliance to rid the air of harmful particles? Can I hire a professional to clean the air?
Also, please bear in mind, I'm not experiencing any discomfort myself. My wife however, has a dry cough, some asthma symptoms, and a burning sensation in her eyes.

Music critic for The Washington Post, Anne Midgette, spoke to WQXR's "Arts File" about American opera companies who, despite the recession, have found innovative programs for their audiences. Among the hardy few (this year, Seattle Opera is doing Daron Hagne's Amelia & Minnesota Opera is apparently doing Ricky Ian Gordon's The Garden of the Finzi-Continis), she cites The Fort Worth Opera's highly-anticipated new opera, Before Night Falls, which has been written and composed by Jorge Martin and is based on the autobiography of late Cuban writer, Reinaldo Arenas.
Young American baritone Wes Mason (photo above) will be singing the lead, the same character that put that delicious imported Spanish fillet, Javier Bardem, on the radar in Julian Schnabel's y2k movie of the same name.
You can find as many Before Night Falls videos as your heart desires on the Lone Star Opera website -- interviews with Wes "Javier Bar-damn!" Mason on the opera, as well as round-tables between Fort Worth Opera General Director Darren Woods and composer Jorge Martin.
Now we'd like to kindly request from FWO more media for Ovidio, sung by tenor Jesus Garcia (photo above) and for Victor, sung by Seth Mease Carico (photo below), the hot buttered rolls to Mason's luncheon meat. More like "Before Our Underwear Falls"!

American shoppers emerged from the nationwide shutdown last month; surging sales by 17.7% in May and posting the biggest jump in American history.
"The 17.7% headline gain including food sales easily topped the previous record from October 2001 and beat the 8% estimate from economists surveyed by Dow Jones," reports CNBC.
"Retail sales powered 16.8% higher from April, more than double the estimate of 8% from Dow Jones and reversing a 16.4% plunge from a month ago. Clothing and accessories stores reported the biggest percentage gain at 188% while sporting goods, hobby, musical instruments and book stores rose 88.2%," adds the website.

'COMFORT' ARRIVES: US Navy Hospital Ship Arrives in New York Harbor to Help Deal with Coronavirus
The United States Navy Hospital Ship Comfort arrived in New York Harbor Monday morning to help the nation's largest city cope with the ongoing Coronavirus crisis.
"There she is," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said as the ship arrived at Manhattan's Pier 90.
"If there is ever a time that we need to work together it is today," he added. "The president is right – this is a war. And what does this nation do when it's at war? It comes together and it acts as one."
"This great ship behind me is a 70,000-ton message of hope and solidarity to the incredible people of New York, a place I know very well, a place I love," said President Trump as the ship left Virginia. "We're here for you. We're fighting for you and we're with you all the way and we always will be."

- distilled spirit
Introductionalso called distilled liquor,alcoholic beverage (such as brandy, whisky, rum, or arrack) that is obtained by distillation from wine or other fermented fruit or plant juice or from a starchy material (such as various grains) that has first been brewed. The alcoholic content of distilled liquor is higher than that of beer or wine.The production of distilled spirits is based upon fermentation, the natural process of decomposition of organic materials containing carbohydrates. It occurs in nature whenever the two necessary ingredients, carbohydrate and yeast, are available. Yeast is a vegetative microorganism that lives and multiplies in media containing carbohydrates—particularly simple sugars. It has been found throughout the world, including frozen areas and deserts.Distilled spirits are all alcoholic beverages in which the concentration of ethyl alcohol has been increased above that of the original fermented mixture by a method called distillation. The principle of alcoholic distillation is based upon the different boiling points of alcohol (78.5° C, or 173.3° F) and water (100° C, or 212° F). If a liquid containing ethyl alcohol is heated to a temperature above 78.5° C but below 100° C and the vapour coming off the liquid is condensed, the condensate will have a higher alcohol concentration, or strength.History of distillingBecause the two ingredients necessary to alcoholic fermentation are widely spread and always appear together, civilizations in almost every part of the world developed some form of alcoholic beverage very early in their history. The Chinese were distilling a beverage from rice beer by 800 BC, and arrack was distilled in the East Indies from sugarcane and rice. The Arabs developed a distillation method that was used to produce a distilled beverage from wine. Greek philosophers reported a crude distillation method. The Romans apparently produced distilled beverages, although no references concerning them are found in writings before AD 100. Production of distilled spirits was reported in Britain before the Roman conquest. Spain, France, and the rest of western Europe probably produced distilled spirits at an earlier date, but production was apparently limited until the 8th century, after contact with the Arabs.The first distilled spirits were made from sugar-based (sugar) materials, primarily grapes and honey to make grape brandy and distilled mead, respectively. The earliest use of starchy grains to produce distilled spirits is not known, but their use certainly dates from the Middle Ages. Some government control dates from the 17th century. As production methods improved and volume increased, the distilled spirits industry became an important source of revenue. Rigid controls were often imposed on both production and sale of the liquor.The earliest stills were composed simply of a heated closed container, a condenser, and a receptacle to receive the condensate. These evolved into the pot still, which is still in use, particularly for making malt whiskeys and some gins. The next refinement was heating the alcohol-containing liquid in a column made up of a series of vaporization chambers stacked on top of one another. By the early 19th century large-scale continuous stills, very similar to those used in the industry today, were operating in France and England. In 1831 the Irishman Aeneas Coffey designed such a still, which consisted of two columns in series.Since distillation requires that the liquid portion of a fermentation mixture be vaporized, considerable heat must be applied to the process. The fuel used in distilling spirits has always been that which has been most readily available at the particular time and place. Peat, coal, and wood were the fuels used historically, while the fuels of choice today are coal, natural gas, and oil. The high steam requirement for continuous-still operation inhibited the development of rectifying columns for production of spirits until after the Industrial Revolution.Many of the minor components of distilled spirits, which are present only in parts per million, are detectable by the senses of taste and smell, but efforts to identify and quantify these compounds chemically have often been hampered by the lower limits of detection by analytical methods. Classes of compounds such as aldehydes, organic acids, esters, and alcohols were easily identified by conventional methods, but many of them could not be determined until after the development of chromatography. The Russian botanist Mikhail Tsvet was an early pioneer of this measurement technique, reporting his first work in 1903. Refinements in both technique and equipment, made during the first half of the 20th century, allowed numerous flavour components in distilled spirits to be identified by gas chromatography.Producing the mashRaw materialsThe raw materials used for making a distilled spirit are of two basic types: (1) those containing a high concentration of natural sugars or (2) those containing other carbohydrates that can easily be converted to sugars by enzymes. Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts to promote chemical reactions. Very small amounts of an enzyme can cause a fundamental change in a large amount of material. Most enzymes are specific in their action, so that a system of several enzymes is necessary, for example, to convert starch into sugar and ultimately into ethyl alcohol. The amylases are enzymes that convert starches into sugars; sprouting grains—especially barley—are natural sources of these enzymes. Yeast has a complex enzyme system that converts sugar into carbon dioxide and a multiplicity of other products, including ethyl alcohol.Reduced activity of any enzyme in the system distorts the results, often forming unwanted products. Enzymes are easily poisoned by certain compounds; they are also sensitive to temperature variations and to the degree of acidity of the medium.Sugary materialsGrapes (grape), cultivated in most of the subtropic and warm temperate zones of the world, are the major fruit employed as the raw material of distilled spirits, and the final product of their fermentation is brandy. Other natural fruits, such as apples and peaches, are used to a lesser extent, and many fruits are limited to local importance.Sugary vegetables include sugarcane, sugar beets, and Agave tequilana (a type of cactus). Sugarcane and its products, including cane juices, molasses, and sugar, are the most important of the vegetable group. Grown throughout the tropics and semitropics, sugarcane is used in making rum and an alcohol derived from rum. Sugarcane juice can be pressed from the cane for use as the base raw material for fermentation, or the juice may be concentrated for sugar production, with the molasses residue from the sugar crystallization used as a base for fermentation. This process is also applied to sugar beets.Starchy materialsFor many centuries, it was only feasible to employ local grain (cereal) crops for liquor production, and, in this way, the basic characteristics of the local distilled beverage were established. Improved transportation removed this restriction, and today economic considerations frequently determine grain selection, with the principal grain used being the one available at the lowest price per unit of fermentable materials.corn (maize) is the most important cereal grain employed; it is produced worldwide. rye grain, though less efficient in fermentation than corn, is used extensively in whiskey production, primarily for the flavour characteristics it imparts to the final product. It is particularly employed in Canada and the United States. rice, a widely grown cereal, has limited use in distilled spirits production outside of Asia from India to Japan. barley grain, probably the first cereal employed for distillation in large quantities, was formerly a major crop throughout Ireland and western Europe. Wheat, because of its high cost, is used only where corn is in short supply and is then limited to production of grain alcohol for blending or in production of liqueurs. Potatoes have been used in distilled spirits production primarily in central Europe; in the tropics, other starchy roots are employed.Preparing the mashMilling and pressingThe purpose of milling and pressing is to make the starch or sugar more available for enzyme action. Crushing and pressing (grapes and other fruits), milling (cereal grains), or a combination of milling and pressing (sugarcane) are used.In milling, grains are reduced to a meal to allow wetting of their starch cells. Various types of mills are used. Roller mills, where the grain passes through a series of corrugated rollers, was long the most common type. The grinding action of the rollers is mainly a shearing action. More efficient and economical impact-type mills (such as hammer mills) are now gaining in importance.After the Industrial Revolution, steam replaced water as the power source for milling. Since the mid-20th century, electricity has been almost the exclusive power source in milling.Mashing.The purpose of the mashing operation is to (1) mix the proper proportions of grains, (2) increase the availability of the starch for enzyme action, and (3) convert the starches into fermentable sugars.Mashing is done in a vessel called a mash tun, which is equipped with a means of agitation for mixing and is either jacketed or contains coils for heating and cooling. In mashing, the starch cells of the grain, enclosed in their own protective coatings, are broken to allow wetting and liquefaction of the entire starch mass. The process usually begins with the grain most difficult to treat. When corn is used, the ground meal is wetted at a temperature of approximately 66° C (150° F), and the temperature is then raised to boiling or sometimes higher while under pressure. The temperature is reduced when the starch cells are broken. The grain ranking second in cell resistance (usually rye) is added next. Other starchy substances, such as potatoes, are usually crushed and heated, exploding the starch cells. The temperature of the mash is reduced before ground malt meal, either in dry form or as a water slurry (insoluble mixture), is added. The amylase enzymes in the malt then produce a mixture in which the starches have been converted to fermentable sugars, suitable for utilization by the yeast. The sugars, principally dextrose and maltose, vary in concentration among producers but, generally, are sufficiently concentrated to make a final product ranging from 7 to 9 percent alcohol.Any germinating cereal grain can be used for malt. In rare cases, rye malt is used in making rye whiskey, but, because the enzyme activity of malted barley is the highest, barley is used almost exclusively in the distilling industry. Barley malt contains sufficient enzymes to convert approximately 10 times its weight in other unmalted grains. Of the two enzymes—α- amylase and β-amylase—the former is the more important for conversion of other grains. In addition to converting starches from other carbohydrates to sugars, barley malt contains soluble proteins (amino acids), contributing flavour to the distillate secured from fermentation and distillation of grain-malt mixtures.Fermenting and distillingFermentationyeast and yeast cultureAs mentioned above, yeasts are found throughout the world; more than 8,000 strains of this vegetative microorganism have been classified. Approximately nine or 10 pure strains, with their subclassifications, are used for fermentation of grain mashes; these all belong to the type Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Each strain has its own characteristics, imparting its special properties to the distillate derived from its fermentation. A limited number of yeasts are used in the fermentation of wines, from which brandy is distilled. Strains used in the fermentation of grain mashes are also used in fermentation for rum, tequila, and beer production.In grain-based products, yeast cells are grown in grain mixtures. The preparation of a cooked mash of rye and barley malt is most common. The mash is sterilized, then inoculated with lactic-acid bacteria to increase acidity. (Yeast is more tolerant of higher acidity than many commonly occurring bacteria.) When the desired acidity is reached, the mixture is again sterilized and a pure yeast culture is added. The yeast is grown under controlled conditions until it reaches the optimum point for mixing with the grain mash. In liquid fermentation, as from fruits and sugarcane, the yeast is generally grown in a mixture similar to the one it will be used to ferment; for example, a yeast culture to be used for molasses fermentation is usually grown in molasses.Fermenting methodsIn the fermentation process, simple sugars, including dextrose and maltose, are converted to ethyl alcohol by the action of yeast enzymes. Several intermediate compounds are formed during this complex chemical process before the final ethyl alcohol is obtained.Yeast functions best in a slightly acid medium, and the prepared grain mash, fruit juice, molasses, or other mixture must be checked for adequate acidity (pH value). If acidity is insufficient, acid or acid-bearing material is added to achieve the necessary adjustment. The previously prepared yeast is then added, and final dilution of the mixture is made. The final concentration of sugars is adjusted so that the yeast fermentation will produce a finished fermented mixture containing between 7 and 9 percent alcohol.Commercial fermentation is carried on in large vats. In the past these were open and made of wood, usually cypress. Most plants now use closed stainless steel vats for easier cleaning, and many are equipped with jackets or cooling coils for better temperature control. The time required for completion of fermentation is mainly dependent upon the temperature of the fermenting mash. Normal yeast is most effective in breaking down all of the fermentable sugars at temperatures ranging from 24° to 29° C (75° to 85° F), and, in this range, completion of fermentation requires from 48 to 96 hours. Fermentation at lower temperatures requires longer periods. The mash is ready for distillation upon completion of fermentation. If fermentation is allowed to continue past this period, it will be adversely affected by bacterial action. The ethyl alcohol content will be reduced, and the flavour and aroma of the finished product will be tainted.DistillationAs mentioned above, the difference in the boiling points of alcohol and water is utilized in distillation to separate these liquids from each other. Basic distillation apparatus consists of three parts: the still or retort, for heating the liquid; the condenser, for cooling the vapours; and the receiver, for collecting the distillate.The pot stillThe simple pot still is a large enclosed vessel, heated either by direct firing on the bottom or by steam coils within the vessel, with a cylindrical bulb at its top leading to a partially cooled vapour line. The bulb and vapour line separate entrained liquid particles from the vapour on its way to the final condenser. The usual pot-still operation involves a series of two or three pot stills. Any vapour falling below a predetermined alcoholic content is fed into a second still, and condensed vapour from the second still falling below the required alcoholic content is fed to the third. The condensed vapours of the desired alcoholic content from all three stills are then commingled in a single receiving container.The pot still, used primarily in Scotland and Ireland for whiskey production and in France for brandies, has had only brief use in distilled spirits production elsewhere and is gradually becoming obsolete. Even in countries in which the pot still has long been used, it has been replaced by continuous distillation for the major portion of alcoholic-liquor production, and its current use is limited to production of flavouring whiskeys and other flavouring ingredients.The flavour profile of a pot-still product is more complex than that of a continuous-still product of the same alcohol content. This is a result of the different distillation methods. At a given temperature and pressure, vapours over a boiling mixture have a composition that is a function of the vapour pressures of the components of the mixture. In a pot still, the temperature of the fermentation mixture rises as the lower-boiling-temperature alcohol vaporizes. Meanwhile, the alcohol content of the distillate drops as the rising temperature vaporizes more water along with the alcohol. Distillation is allowed to continue until the alcohol content of the distillate falls to a predetemined level. Because of the rising temperature encountered in distilling a single batch, the composition of the first part of the condensate to leave the pot is different from that of the last part. The composition of the final product is the average of the composition of the vapours condensed during the entire run. By contrast, the temperature of the continuous still is held approximately constant throughout the run. This results in a flavour profile that is more uniform.The continuous stillThe continuous still, which came into use in the early 19th century, consists of a tall cylindrical column filled with perforated plates onto which water-rich vapours condense while alcohol-enriched vapours pass through. These plates thus serve as a series of small pot stills, one on top of the other. Live steam, used as the heat source, is fed into the bottom of the still, and the liquid to be distilled is fed near the top. Steam pressure holds the liquid on the plates, and, with any overflow caught by the plate below, the liquid level on each plate is maintained. Use of a sufficient number of plates assures that the concentration of alcohol in the vapour leaving the top of the still will be appropriate for the desired product and that the liquid leaving the bottom has been stripped of any alcohol.Many distillation operations combine column and pot stills. The condensed distillate from the column still is fed to the doubler, a type of pot still heated by closed steam coils, and redistilled.The rectification stillRectification is the process of purifying alcohol by repeatedly or fractionally distilling it to remove water and undesirable compounds. As mentioned above, a fermentation mixture primarily contains water and ethyl alcohol and distillation involves increasing the percentage of ethyl alcohol in the mixture. Water vaporizes very easily, however, and, unless care is taken, the distillate of a fermentation mixture will contain unacceptably large quantities of water. The fermentation mixture furthermore contains small quantities of complex constituents that can contribute to the flavour of the product even if they are present only in parts per million. It is important to retain those components that make a positive contribution to the product and to remove those that are unwanted, primarily some organic aldehydes, acids, esters, and higher alcohols. The ones that remain in the product are called congeners, and the congener level is controlled by the particular rectification system and by the system's method of operation.The multicolumn rectifying system usually consists of three to five columns. The first column is always a preliminary separation column called the beer still, or analyzer. It usually consists of a series of metal plates with holes punched in them and baffles to control the liquid levels on the plates. The product coming from this column is between 55 and 80 percent ethyl alcohol. A 95-percent product can be produced on a two-column system consisting of a beer column and a rectifying column. The bulk of congener removal is accomplished in the rectifier—esters and higher alcohols, for example, being drawn off as side streams. However, a multicolumn system of several specialized rectifiers allows better control of the finished product. An aldehyde column, or purifier, is frequently used to separate these highly volatile low-boiling components, and sometimes ethyl alcohol is recovered in an extractive column and returned to the rectifier.Three characteristics determine the elimination or retention of flavouring compounds: (1) their boiling points, (2) their solubilities in ethyl alcohol and water, and (3) their specific gravities. Some higher alcohols, for example, are removed on the basis of their solubility and specific gravity. These higher alcohols have limited solubility in water, and their specific gravities are less than that of water. Also, their boiling points are higher than that of ethyl alcohol and lower than that of water. Since they tend to accumulate in the rectifying column at the region where their boiling points cause them to condense, they can be drawn off as a liquid side stream. This side stream also contains a considerable amount of water. The limited solubility in water, plus the lower specific gravities, cause the higher alcohols to float to the top of the alcohol–water mixture, from which they can be removed.Maturation, blending, and packagingAgingOne method of classifying distilled liquors is as aged or unaged. Vodka, neutral spirits for use in a variety of products, most gins, and some rums and brandies are unaged. Aged products are predominantly whiskeys and most rums and brandies.The term age refers to the actual duration of storage, while maturity expresses the degree to which chemical changes occur during storage. The maturation of whiskeys falls into two categories, according to whether storage is in new or reused cooperage. New charred, white-oak containers are required by law in the United States for the maturation of products to be called straight bourbon or rye whiskey. These containers, each containing 50 to 55 gallons, are stored in warehouses sometimes having controlled temperature and humidity. Older warehouses are called rick houses because the barrels are stored on stationary frames called ricks. In many newer houses, barrels are stacked on pallets.white oak is one of the few woods that can hold liquids while allowing the process of breathing through the pores of the wood. The pore size of the wood is such that small molecules such as water move through the wood more easily than larger molecules such as alcohol. This breathing process is caused by temperature and humidity differences between the liquid in the barrel and the air in the warehouse. Charring the wood makes some of the wood compounds more soluble. As the liquid in the container moves back and forth through the wood, ingredients are extracted and carried back into the container's contents. Maturation also results from the contact of oxygen from the outside air with ingredients in the alcohol mixture. Therefore, maturation during aging consists of the interaction of the original compounds of the distillate, of oxidation reactions, and of the extraction of flavouring compounds from the wood. These factors must be well balanced in the properly matured product. The lower the level of the original congeners, the less wood extract required to achieve a good balance.Outside the United States, reused cooperage is common. Since used containers have already yielded their initial oak extracts, the resulting product is low in extracted flavouring ingredients, which is desirable in some beverages. This maturation method, typified by Scotch and Irish whiskeys, can be carried on in casks holding up to 132 gallons. These casks have usually had previous use for storage or maturation of other whiskeys or wines and may be reused for many maturation cycles. Maturation in dry warehousing increases the alcoholic content of the liquid in the container, but the more common practice for Scotch and Irish whiskeys of maturation in high humidity warehouses reduces the alcoholic concentration.The maturation procedure for brandies (brandy) is similar to that of some whiskeys, but the brandies are usually matured in fairly large casks or oak containers. Most brandies are matured for three to five years, but some remain for as long as 20 to 40 years or even longer.rum is usually matured in reused oak containers; high concentrations of oak extracts are not considered desirable. Normal maturation time is two to three years, but rum, generally a blended product, may contain a percentage of older rums.Most governments specify storage time for various products. The United States requires a two-year storage period for most whiskeys but has no requirement for any pure alcohol or neutral spirits (close to 100 percent alcohol) added to such whiskeys in the production of blended whiskey. Canada requires storage of two years for all distilled spirits. Scotland and England require a three-year storage and Ireland, five years for all products classified as whiskey; there are no requirements for vodka and gin.BlendingBlending is another method of obtaining a balanced product with precise flavour characteristics. Blended products are composed of one or more highly flavoured components, a high-proof component with a low congener content, a colour adjustment ingredient, and perhaps an additional flavouring material. An example is a blended whiskey, which may contain several whiskeys, a grain spirit distilled at 90 to 95 percent alcohol, caramel colouring, and perhaps a small amount of a flavouring blender (part of which may be sherry or port wine). A blended Scotch consists of several highly flavoured malt whiskeys produced in pot stills and a base whiskey produced from grain in a continuous distillation system.BottlingDistilled spirits react upon exposure to many substances, extracting materials from the container that tend to destroy the liquor aroma and flavour. For this reason, glass, being nonreactive, has been the universal container for packaging alcoholic liquors. (A few products are now packaged in plastic bottles, but these are primarily 50-millilitre miniatures, the light weight of which is particularly suited for use by airlines.) Packaging economics require containers that are standardized in size and shape and that lend themselves to automatic processes.Early hand methods of filling, labeling, corking, and other operations have been replaced by highly mechanized bottling lines, with bottles cleaned, filled, capped, sealed, labeled, and placed in a shipping container at a rate as high as 400 bottles per minute. This progress became possible with the development of high-strength glass, plastic closures with inert liners, and high-speed machines. Even specialized packaging, long a hand operation, has been replaced by standardization of containers, allowing production on automatic lines.Designated proofSpirit strength may be designated in several ways—weight per gallon, percentage by weight, or percentage by volume, all these having reference to absolute (i.e., pure) alcohol and water. There are other standards in common use; e.g., U.S. proof spirit, which is 50 percent by volume alcohol. Each degree of U.S. proof represents 0.5 percent alcohol, so that a liquor having 50 percent alcohol is termed 100 proof. British proof is based on a specific concentration of alcohol, a 50 percent alcoholic content being equivalent to 114.12 U.S. proof. British proof is expressed as degrees over or under proof (that is, over or under 50 percent alcohol), while U.S. proof is expressed in direct proof figures. The metric Gay-Lussac system simply states the percentage by volume of alcohol in a distilled liquor.Additional ReadingSeveral comprehensive guides include a wealth of information on both wines and distilled spirits: Harold J.

Katie Couric said a few months ago that she thought Kate Middleton was 'too thin' and although obstetricians have said that Kate's 125-lb frame is unlikely to have been a contributing factor in her acute morning sickness, speculation continues that she is underweight, or suffering 'pregorexia', the coin termed for women dealing with eating diorders while pregnant.
Time.com carries a report on Kate's weight today, with a statemement from the National Eating Disorders Association, saying that, "some women with disordered eating are able to more easily cope with weight gain during pregnancy because they see it as a sacrifice for an important cause. But others may plunge into deep depression as they struggle with the tension between the idea of weight gain and their body image issues."
However, the news weekly's website has struggled to get an expert to state categorically that she is too thin to carry a child safely. The report states:
Eating disorders aside, blogs have been bursting with curiosity about whether Middleton is "too thin to conceive" and "too thin to bear an heir."
The answer, according to Dr. George Macones, who chairs the committee on obstetric practice for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), is no. A woman who is malnourished or a competitive athlete who has stopped ovulating can have trouble getting pregnant. Likewise, a malnourished pregnant women can be at increased risk of delivering early. But Middleton is neither malnourished nor an Ironwoman competitor. "For the most part, people who are thin do very well during pregnancy," says Macones, who is also chair of obstetrics and gynecology at Washington University in St Louis.
They have similar pregnancy outcomes as women of normal weight, and they have better outcomes than very overweight women, who are at higher risk of diabetes, pregnancy-induced high blood pressure and C-sections.
It remains to be seen whether Middleton will pack on the 25 to 35 pounds recommended for a healthy pregnancy.

With the Raspberry Pi now most famously known as a $30 media PC, it only makes sense that the best uses for the GPIO pins on the Pi are used for an Ambilight. [Great Scott Labs] put up a great video on using the Pi as a uniquely configurable Ambilight with Hyperion and just about any video input imaginable.
This isn't the first Ambilight clone [Great Scott] has put together, but for the first version the Ambilight functioned only under Raspbian and not any random HDMI input. The new version solves this by using an HDMI splitter box, feeding into an HDMI to composite converter, and finally into a USB composite capture dongle attached to the Raspi.
With the software in the instructions, the Raspi effectively mirrors the video coming from the video capture dongle. The Pi is running Hyperion to control a strip of WS2801 RGB LEDs, making the back of any TV glowey and blinkey.
Since [Great Scott] is using a component video signal as an input, the adapters necessary to have any device work with this Ambilight are readily available. We'd honestly like to see this build working with the old Commodore disk access screen border going nuts, so be sure to send that in if you ever get that working.

8) "The private sector is doing fine:" Know what hasn't been "doing fine" for a single day since Barack Obama came into office? The private sector. So when Barack Obama bizarrely proclaimed that "the private sector is doing fine" earlier this year, Obama was further out of touch than E.T. was when he wanted to phone home.
7) Obama bows to Saudi king: If Barack Obama had spent his formative years in the United States instead of overseas, he'd know that real Americans don't bow. Moreover, no American, especially the President, should be bowing down to a dictatorial king like the one we had to overthrow in the Revolutionary War. Besides the Saudi king, Obama also continued to humiliate himself and his country by bowing to Japanese Emperor Akihito and the Chinese PM. We're lucky that the SEALs killed Osama Bin Laden as opposed to capturing him or we might have seen pictures of Obama bowing to him on MSNBC by now.
6) Son looked like Trayvon: At a time when George Zimmerman was publicly being threatened with death and white people were being beaten "For Trayvon," there was an opportunity for the President to show leadership and encourage people to calm down. Instead, after making some perfunctory remarks towards that end, Obama added fuel to the fire by noting, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon." This was a follow-up to Obama's similarly foolish decision to insert himself into another local situation that didn't concern him. After his friend Henry Gates smashed his own door in and made such an ass of himself that he was arrested when the police arrived, Obama noted that he didn't know the facts, but he did know that the "police acted stupidly." He then followed that up by suggesting racism was probably to blame. Fortunately, he managed to patch over that bit of idiocy with a "beer summit" as opposed to the Trayvon Martin case where he increased the chances that someone would get killed because he was thoughtlessly shooting off his mouth.
5) Refusing to pick up illegals from Arizona: After the Obama Administration refused to enforce federal immigration law in Arizona, the state passed a tough new law that allowed local police to do the job ICE wouldn't do. Disgracefully, Barack Obama held a White House press conference where both he and Mexican President Felipe Calderon ganged up against Arizona for doing little more than enforcing the laws on the book. The Obama Administration then sued Arizona and after it didn't emerge completely victorious, simply refused to pick up illegal aliens that aren't felons from Arizona. In other words, not only is Barack refusing to enforce the law of the land, he won't allow anyone else to uphold the laws he falsely swore to uphold when he became President.
4) Persecuting the Catholic Church: Obama spat in the face of the Catholic Church and violated its constitutionally-protected 1st Amendment religious rights by demanding that it provide birth control and abortifacient drugs in its hospitals. Unless this policy is stopped, millions of Americans will pay the price as the Catholic Church closes its hospitals rather than violate its deeply-held religious beliefs in order to cater to Barack Obama's whims.
3) Passing Obamacare: Health care reform was opposed by the Republican Party and the American people despite endless lies the Obama Administration told about what a wonderful program it would be. The Obama Administration lied when it said everyone could keep their health insurance, that it wouldn't increase the deficit, when it said there were no death panels in the bill, when it said it wouldn't increase taxes, and when it said abortion wouldn't be funded with your tax dollars. All of these lies were for a program that took 500 billion dollars out of Medicare to fund a new entitlement program that will cause large numbers of doctors to quit, dramatically reduce the quality of care, and force Americans to deal with the IRS just to get health care. It's one of the single worst bills in America history that delivers an incredibly expensive new entitlement program at the point in American history where we can least afford it.
2) Obama's lawless attempt to pass the Dream Act by Fiat: After the DREAM ACT failed to make it through Congress, Barack Obama illegally decided to implement it anyway. After instructing the Department of Justice to stop following the law in regard to illegals under 30, Obama decided to issue work permits for illegals. That's an illegal act that directly contradicts the existing immigration law. It also makes little sense to give somewhere between 800,000 and 3 million foreigners work permits when every job they take will keep another American out of work in tough economic times.
1) Eric Holder held in contempt of Congress after Obama uses executive privilege: On Barack Obama's watch, the Department of Justice helped put guns into the hands of Mexican cartels and these guns were used to kill hundreds of Mexicans along with American Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Did Eric Holder know about this beforehand? Did Barack Obama? We don't know for sure because they've been engaged in a Nixonian cover-up. They've dragged their feet, stonewalled, and when they couldn't hold off any longer, Obama declared executive privilege in an attempt to hide the truth about how deeply his administration is tied to the deaths of 300 plus people. Obama's behavior was so sleazy that 17 House Democrats felt compelled to vote with Republicans to find Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. Say what you want about Watergate, but at least no one was killed during the scandal, which is something that can't be said about Obama's Fast and Furious debacle.

Every year, since I was seventeen, I've made it a practice.
The day after Christmas until the New Year, I ask for a word. It's always tucked inside the envelope of Bible verse.
It might come to me through a lyric of a song, or like a dandelion wafting through the air, a thought somehow snags on a blade of an everyday moment. I may be sliding julienned leaves of bok choy from my cutting board, damp from washing, into a hot oil-dancing frying pan. I could be staring into a stretch of freeway, as I exit to pause at a traffic light. I don't know when that one word will come.
But, I always wait for it to arrive.
I'm eager to open it -- to find the note God will place on my soul for the year.
But, it's 2013. And I don't have very many words as it is.
Do I even want a one word soul resolution this year? If there ever was a time in my life I really needed a word from God, but felt too weary to receive it, this would be it.
Do you feel burdened to search your soul for more words?
Maybe you've strained to hear God speak for so long, you're no longer sure if it's the wind or His whisper.
Maybe you're afraid to seek His words, because to recognize your desire — or the silence — would be too hard to bear.
Maybe you don't want to ask any more questions.
Either way, fellow faith traveller, you and I carry the same longing. We want to receive one word from Jesus.
I Don't Know
I have to confess that I did receive my word for 2013. But, I haven't felt adequate enough to share it with you.
Because I don't know if I can live it out fully.
I can't even fall asleep reliably or write without deleting lines and whole paragraphs, even though I once wrote with abandon, prolifically. Daily.
When I compare myself with what I've been able to do in the past -- to what I can do now -- I feel small. Insignificant. I no longer want to write about it. Because I feel I have very little to offer.
Then one night, I read a bedtime Bible story to my three year CJ. As I sat on the floor, with my back leaning against the bed and a squirmy preschooler perched on my lap, I come across a chapter in the life of Elisha.
He meets a woman who owed a great debt, who did not have the means to pay it.
She had nothing.
Except for a jar of oil.
A Little Oil
The scripture says she came crying to Elisha because her husband was dead.
If she could not pay the creditor, he would take her sons to become his slaves.
Elisha asked her, "Do you own anything?"
I have nothing in the house, she answers. Except a little oil.
It surprised me, but I heard my voice in the widow's answer. I have nothing to offer...
Is that true? Jesus seemed to gently ask. How about that little oil?
I immediately thought of my writing and my one word. How can I write anything of importance, when my journey feels so broken and un-newsworthy?
Maybe you feel this way about your "little oil".
Is there a desire God's placed on your heart, but you've not dared to move -- because you feel your ability to meet that passion was too "little"?
When we don't know how to meet our needs with what little we have, we can become frozen in our inadequacy.
Fight, Flight, or Frozen
In trauma work, they say our response to danger is fight or flight.
We can become utterly consumed with fighting our way to secure the dream we've envisioned, we can end up stressed, striving to achieve it. Or we can be flooded with fears. We can run away, to escape the encounter and avoid the ensuing conflicts that surely come with breaking free from what troubles us.
But, there's a third response. We can become frozen.
We can become so analytical about problem solving and overwhelmed by our conflicting emotions, we no longer feel. We numb ourselves from our wounds and our desires.
We go into survival mode: we perform and we produce.
As I read ahead in The Beginner's Bible to my little one, I knew this story was coming alive for me this week:
Elisha said, "Gather some empty jars from your friends.
Then go inside and pour your oil in them."
The woman obeyed and God made her tiny bit of oil fill all the jars.
She sold all the oil and paid the man back.
She took care of her family with the leftover money.
~ 2 Kings 4:17
Gathering Empty Jars
Gather some empty jars from your friends.
I thought about our weekly Thursday blog link up -- what I call Faith Jams -- before my writing became captive in post-traumatic stress.
For two years, readers and I respond to one writing prompt at a time. We've swapped stories, as we write about our faith journeys, over virtual cups of coffee and tea.
I went back to read the One Words we shared in 2012 and 2011. As I clicked through everyone's soul-inspiring blog posts, I understood the beauty of what we've been offering to each other.
We offered empty jars to each other.
We poured what little oil we had -- out of the journeys of faith we have been living.
No one knows where the faith journey will lead us. But, by blogging together, we are gathering the empty jars of our souls and sharing the little oil -- words from the Holy Spirit -- that God places along our path.
So, tonight as I'm writing this post, I'm wondering if you're feeling the stir to share your little oil -- the one word God's placed on your heart -- in community too?
Will you write alongside me -- whether you're brimming with words overflowing or whether like me, the words have been too few and you've been holding your words too close because you've been afraid to let them go?
Perhaps by pouring our words into each other, we'll find the Holy Spirit miraculously filling us up with more than we started out with.
Give Voice Next Monday
We'll read each other's journeys and find the Voice of Love, Jesus, touching us a little deeper, with a lot more grace and gentleness than we thought possible.
In the same way the sun pulls petals of flowers to turn towards its golden descent at dusk in the sky, we can simply give voice to the words we hear.
What is your One Word for 2013?
Sshh... don't tell me yours just yet.
I'll be sharing mine with you next Monday here at Crosswalk, 1/28/2013. If you are a blogger, write a post on your blog about your one word for the year.
I'll share how you can link up with me. If you don't have a blog, you can share with me via comment next Monday too.
It's will be my first Faith Jam blog link-up in months.
And I'm so grateful we can give voice to our first words in the new year. Together. Here.
What is the "little oil" -- the desire -- God's placed on your heart to pour out?
How is God encouraging you to give voice to the journey you're traveling through?
Pull up a chair. Click here to comment.
As you share, you'll be pouring a little oil here.

Forget not yet!- Poem: A Supplication.

Say nay! say nay! for shame!
To save thee from the blame
Of all my grief and grame.
And wilt thou leave me thus?

- Behold love, thy power how she despiseth:
My great pain, how little she regardeth
The holy oath, whereof she taketh no cure
Broken she hath : and yet she bideth sure
Right at her ease, and little she dreadeth.- Rondeau 1 [1].

Quickly change volume in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)
Sponsored Link
By default you have two options:
- Move your mouse over the volume control applet and scroll
- Hit whatever keyboard combination you have set to do the task
The reason I don't like these two options are that they require me to look at the screen/keyboard, instead of looking at whoever's talking to me, and when my laptop is closed (While I'm "studying") I have to first open the lid to do this.
In old Ubuntu you had a third option, move the volume control applet to one of the corners. Then you could simply move your mouse to that corner with a flick of the wrist, and scroll to change the volume.
In lucid however the new Indicator Applet system prevents you from customizing the location of the particular applets. As such I use CompizConfig Settings Manager to achieve the same result.
First install it:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
From its main menu, select the Commands option
Set the first two commanad lines to:
amixer -c 0 sset PCM,0 20+
amixer -c 0 sset PCM,0 20-
Then you can set the corresponding button bindings, selecting whichever corner is comfortable for you, along with Mouse Button4 (Scroll up) for the first command and Button5 (Scroll down) for the second.
You should now be able to quickly change volume without looking. Note you may want to play around with different values, and also different channels. For example changing the command to "amixer -c 0 sset Master,0 5-" changes the Master channel by 5 (out of 255).
You could also customize other buttons in other corners to do other commands, but I leave it to you to explore the near infinite possibilities.
